Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Events

The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is proud to sponsor a special speaking engagement with Audrey and Frank Peterman, who share more than two decades of exploration in national parks, forests and wildlife refuges, and pioneered efforts to promote them among Americans of color.

We’re excited to invite you to participate in the Project Parkway - Campground Cleanup on Saturday, April 21. We’re welcoming Parkway fans to volunteer their time to spruce up the park’s eight campgrounds to kick off National Park Week (April 21-29).

Join the Foundation, Blue Ridge Conservancy, and Chetola Resort in welcoming the Blue Ridge Parkway's new Superintendent, J.D. Lee, during a reception in the Appalachian Blue Ridge Room at the resort. Light refreshments will be served.

The fifth annual Blue Ridge High Pass Boogie is taking the show on the road. This year, participants will gather at the Willville Campground in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, for a weekend of southern Virginia's best motorcycle routes. As in years past, the event offers two on-road routes and one dual-sport route. Camping is included with your donation, and there are three weekend packages available that include camping, meals, and escorted rides ranging from $125 to $375.

Save the date for the third annual Denim Ball to benefit Moses H. Cone Memorial Park on Friday, August 3. We're excited to announce the evening will include music by the Jeff Little Trio. The event has sold out each year, so stay tuned for updates on when tickets will go on sale.
